The UT Conversation Library (UTCL) is a collection of appr. 200 hours of real-life conversations in various settings, many of them telephone conversations, collected by the late Robert Hopper, professor in the Department of Communication Studies, and his students and colleagues. These recordings were collected to support and advance research on spoken language in everyday life, at work, and in the media.
